Jane Lui Maroon 5 - Moves like Jagger & The Muppets - Rainbow Connection

Her voice is gorgeous, and she looks a lot like my former anthro professor who I had an ill crush on, so I figure that’s good enough reason to post this.

Bonus: the Chinese cover of “I Want It That Way” she did with a couple of Youtube singer guys… love it.

This is sooo cute I love love it! She is gorgeous!!

white women need to know

holyhomoeroticbatman:

cynicalapathy:

that their beauty is forced down every woc’s throat. that’s why we can’t handle a movie claiming they suffer the most from oppressive beauty standards even if it was fictional, because in reality beauty standards are exclusively made with white women in mind and values you higher than the rest of us.
